Variously described as "mad", "inspired", "an eccentric", and "a genius", Isadora Duncan was a great exponent of freedom in her life and her art, the dance. It may seem extraordinary to us now, but when this book was first published it was banned. It is hard to believe that it was thought indecent. Her life was perfectly romantic in a world so alien to our own. "All that is necessary to make the world a better place to live in is to love," she said.

I have read this book perhaps ten times over the past decades since I bought my first copy - Heaven only knows how long ago.
Although somewhat dated in style, and certain historical situations no longer even exist, her perspectives on the human and political conditions remain fresh and I think very contemporary. Her take on marriage, alone, ought to be that of every reasonable woman.
I love this book and the freedom of which it speaks. As an artist, I have found myself in similar circumstances, more than once, and politically, I am much in agreement with Isadora.
My point is, really, one could do worse than curl up with Isadora Duncan on a chilly night.
